Bumping this thread because we're trying to build an indoor waterfall and could use some help or advice. Has anyone done this before? As in an indoor waterfall?

We thought about just buying one, but haven't had luck finding one that was both safe for indoor use and also the right size -- most were either tabletop fountains or only a few feet high at most. Some of them are illuminated, though, and we liked the looks of them (example), but they tend to be too wide and not tall enough -- the only one we found that was 4' tall was only for outdoor use. So we are starting to wonder if should just make our own, because then we can include all the lava rock and giant clam shells we want.

We read this thread on building an outdoor rock waterfall and more recently Bamboo Ben's lava rock waterfall for the Breezeway, but has anyone done an indoor fountain? We're not even sure where to start with this one...

I'm not sure if you guys live in the Los Angeles area, but Marukai in Gardena has bamboo pole fountains that you can put together. I think they were in the $30 and under range. Their home decor is on the second floor of the market.
The algae problem will happen with any fountain and it requires consistent cleaning.
